Well, well, well....Here I am again...........

It has been a long hiatus! Unintentionally, so I will try and explain.

I tried changing things on my Blog.....like how it was presented.   Then, suddenly i noticed that there was no place to add a new post.  No tab, no button, nothing.  I tried going out of it and then back in....nothing.....just my old blog photos and a list of posts....and nowhere that i could figure out  how to get back to a place that i could add new stories or photos.   After many MANY frustrated tries, i simply gave up, chalking it up to “YOU need to concentrate on making your business work...you have no time for blogging”...or attempting to, since i really am not all that sure i know what i am doing with a blog anyway! i took it as a sign....and i forgot about it.

Low and behold, today i looked at someone’s, and thought, OK....why not give this another try.  Start over, fresh.  So i clicked on something that said “start a blog” or some such thing, and low and behold it brought up MY very own  HeLLo WoRLd blog!!  Complete with the ability to post a new bunch of words!!!

Am i excited!!??  You BET!  i still have no real time to devote to a blog, however...since i suffer from periodic insomnia, the wee small hours might be when i get it done!!  i do love to write...almost as much as i love photography....

so.....here i am again!  Not sure if you are as excited as i am...quite possibly not, but i will do my best to entertain you, i promise....if not with words, with some of my photos :)
I have begun another new class...this one called Be Still 52, by Kim Klassen.   A year of Still Life and wonderful lessons on technique and staging and textures and words... if you do not know Kim, let me just say that i am ADDICTED to her classes...this is my 5th one i think.  Love her and her work to pieces, and  have learned more than i ever dreamed i could (you know....that hard to teach an old dog new tricks thing).

i have included a few things i have done for this class, and i am totally smitten with Still Life now!   i hope you enjoy them.  I also hope that i get better at figuring out this whole blog template thing, since i have seen other blogs with nice big photos and i keep getting these wee things stuck in here with my words!!  Wish me luck....and hope you have a beautiful week!
